He referenced the Governor' s Community of <br /> Excellence program and the fact that to participate in that program <br /> there had to be six industrial sites available to offer to those <br /> coming into the community. He stated that this was really the <br /> beginning of the industrial node concept and the present planning <br /> staffs were not involved. He felt it would be better to move the <br /> industrial site to the buffer zone. <br /> John Peraza, Stoneycreek resident, presented a prepared <br /> statement attached to these minutes. <br /> Dan Marnell, Stoney Creek resident, presented a prepared <br /> statement attached to these minutes. <br /> Willhoit was asked about further public hearings.
